Liquid Chromatography (LC) and Gas Chromatography (GC) are powerful analytical techniques used to separate and analyze compounds in mixtures. LC operates with a liquid mobile phase, making it ideal for analyzing non-volatile or thermally unstable compounds, commonly used in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and food analysis. GC, on the other hand, uses a gaseous mobile phase, perfect for separating volatile and semi-volatile compounds, and is widely applied in environmental analysis, petrochemicals, and forensics. Both techniques are essential in research and industry for their precision and versatility.
